Physiology

Swampert is an amphibious quadruped Pokémon that resembles both a mudskipper and an axolotl. It has a long bluish/white body with a lighter blue underbelly. It has four appendages that are a cross between legs and fins. With these, it sometimes stands upright on its hind legs, and at other times is on all fours like a quadruped animal. Each has an orange oval on it. Swampert has large, fan-shaped fins above its eyes and a huge axe-like fin growing out of its behind as a prosaic tail would. It also has a pair of orange gills on either side of its face. It also has very small orange eyes.

Special Abilities

Swampert has Torrent ability, which lets it have its Water-type moves boosted when damaged enough. When it mega evolves, its ability becomes Swift Swim.

Etymology

This Pokémon's name comes from swamp, a place where many Water/Ground-type Pokémon would likely be found, and rampart, meaning a fortification, which probably refers to its habit of piling up boulders to protect itself. It could also come from the word expert, as it is very capable in a swamp-like area.
